Turning Fear and Doubt into Fuel for Brilliance

UNCERTAINTY WILL FREEZE YOU IN PLACE IF YOU LET IT

Jonathan Fields knows the risks-and potential power-of uncertainty. He gave up a six-figure income as a lawyer to make $12 an hour as a personal trainer. Then, married with a three-month-old baby, he signed a lease to launch a yoga center in the heart of New York City . . . the day before 9/11. But he survived, and along the way he developed a fresh approach to transforming uncertainty, risk of loss, and exposure to judgment into catalysts for innovation, creation, and achievement.

In business, art, and life, creating on a world-class level demands bold action and leaps of faith in the face of great uncertainty. But that uncertainty can lead to fear, anxiety, paralysis, and destruction. It can gut creativity and stifle innovation. It can keep you from taking the risks necessary to do great work and craft a deeply rewarding life. And it can bring companies that rely on innovation grinding to a halt.

That is, unless you know how to use it to your advantage.

Fields draws on leading-edge technology, cognitive-science and ancient awareness-focusing techniques in a fresh, practical, nondogmatic way. His approach enables creativity and productivity on an entirely different level and can turn the once-tortuous journey into a more enjoyable quest.

Fields will reveal how to-

 * Make changes to your workflow that unlock buried creative potential.
 * Build 'creation hives' - supportive groups that can supercharge and humanize the process.
 * Tap social technology and user co-creation to add clarity, certainty, and sanity, even if you're an artist or solo-creator.
 * Develop a set of personal practices and mindset shifts that let you not just tolerate, but invite and even amplify, uncertainty as a catalyst for genius.
